  Paradigm complementary to conventional matching is explored, with matching distributed across the entire line. This can have varying degrees of advantage depending on acuteness of issues in a conventional scheme: - Limited flexibility and space constraint for matching section - Neglect of beam property away from matching section - Excessive envelope/magnet strength caused by matching (sub-optimal tradeoff) - Local envelope blowup inside matching section - Low tolerance to errors and lack of recourse to matching failure - Slow computation process - Unpredictable solution - Limited option/insight/control on implementing solution. A scheme was envisioned to address these, backed by recently developed matching algorithm tailored to this demand. It can be applied to any beamline configuration, including coupled 4D or intervening elements, providing deterministic, rigorous solutions allowing insight and control pre-implementation. It also shows promise of global optimum. Combined with the distributed scheme this algorithm promises additional advantages of speed, determinism and flexibility. Preliminary results, computational demands and possibilities for extension will be discussed.

Formed in 2010, the Open XAL accelerator physics software platform was developed through an international collaboration among several facilities to establish it as a standard for accelerator physics software. While active development continues, the project has now matured. This paper presents the current status of the project, a roadmap for continued development and an overview of the project status at each participating facility.
